Basic Ideas When you look at a story poem or piece of art with the specific purpose of seeing its meaning to a specific sex, you are considering Gender Theory.

Basic Ideas This is also true if you consider how the creator’s gender or sexual orientation impacted the work.

How a Critic Sees It View society in a “patriarchal” and “heterosexual” way, which has hindered or prevented women and homosexuals from realizing their true potential. Claim that both groups are viewed negatively, inferior, or as “the other.”

What You Do Consider the gender/orientation of the author, characters Look at the roles gender or sexuality play in this work (Examine power relations) Look for sexual stereotypes either reinforced or contradicted Imagine yourself as the opposite gender reading the text

Lyrics My mama told me when I was young We are all born superstars She rolled my hair and put my lipstick on In the glass of her boudoir "There's nothing wrong with loving who you are" She said, "'Cause he made you perfect, babe" "So hold your head up girl and you'll go far, Listen to me when I say“ I'm beautiful in my way 'Cause God makes no mistakes I'm on the right track, baby I was born this way Don't hide yourself in regret Just love yourself and you're set I'm on the right track, baby I was born this way

All from “BABY” Character Analysis Rinaldi, the surgeon at the Red Cross Hospital, is important to the novel not only because he gets some really great lines, but also because he is of ambiguous sexual orientation. He sleeps with female prostitutes, but he expresses a desire to kiss Frederic several times. Is he a very affectionate straight man? Is he gay? Is he bisexual? All of these interpretations are possible. A Farewell to Arms shows us, in part through the character of Rinaldi, that masculinity comes in all shapes, sizes, and flavors. Frederic’s friendship with him also refutes claims that Frederic is just a crude, macho guy. If he was only that, he may have socked Rinaldi in the mouth all those times when Rinaldi was putting the moves on him.
